Marques Bolden Selects Duke over Kentucky and TCU
After much suspense, the wait is finally over. Marques Bolden will go to Duke University to play for Coach K.

Bolden, the No. 1 ranked center, put off his decision until May 19 after originally saying he would decide by his birthday, April 17. Bolden joins an already-stacked recruiting class that includes Harry Giles (No. 1 overall), Jayson Tatum (No. 2 overall) and five-star shooting guard, Frank Jackson. Some experts are saying this is 2016's best recruiting class, but Kentucky's crop of talent rivals the Blue Demons with five five-star recruits.

Bolden is also a projected top-10 NBA pick for the 2017 Draft.

With Grayson Allen and company returning, will Duke be the solid favorite to win the 2017 NCAA Championship? Sound off in the Comments section.
